Mississippi River Great River Road Gets "Most Scenic Drive" Vote

Plan a trip along the Great River Road any time of year and include a overnight at the Westby House Inn.


Recently voted and earning a "Most Scenic Drive in the USA" designation by Huntington Post the Great River Road National Scenic Byway lies only 23 miles from the Westby House Inn.  Running between the Mississippi River and the mighty bluffs, a drive up or down the Byway is so beautiful and awe inspiring. Never touched by glaciers, the Driftless Area is characterized by its beautifully topography. Forested hillsides reach down to the river and valleys.  Although La Crosse is the largest Wisconsin city on the Mississippi, the river's impact can be seen in every community within 30 miles. The great diveristy of the area means something to suit the taste of every visitor. Canoe, hike, bike, sip coffee, read a book, wade a trout stream makes a trip well worth it.
